• Notify SROs

• Sequester SROs

• Unit shutdown

• Vaccinate SROs

• Establish site quarters

• Consolidate SROs at site

• Prioritize unit shutdowns

• Consider outside assistance 3/4 When the pandemic does happen, z Focus resources where they will do the most good; with frugality z Put forces and resources in reserve as much you can 29

Pandemic Plans SNC Mission and Implementation Statement in the event of a pandemic SNCs Mission in the face of a pandemic threat To continue the uninterrupted maximum generation and delivery of electrical energy from the nuclear reactors at all three sites, considering mandated minimal staffing levels that are on-hand for an extended period of time and that there are no allowable compromise of the public health, public safety or violations of then-in-effect regulations in doing so.

Implementation The specified task would be to keep electricity flowing uninterrupted at maximum loads for all six nuclear units.

• Implied in that is the suggested establishment of minimum manning documents for not only numbers of employees present for duty but minimums assigned in several duty functions.

• Falling below these pre-established minimums at any location might necessitate voluntary derate or even shutdown of selected nuclear units, in a logical, stepwise manner.

• Likewise, there may be a hierarchy of necessary plant services and necessary Corporate services beyond which nuclear unit operations would not be prudent, regulatorily allowable or even possible 30

Most Recent Root Cause (1-DL05) 3/4 During a routine train swap, the breaker for the 1C SW pump was momentarily closed but tripped free (open) 3/4 Root cause investigation attributed the failure to age and degradation of existing Allis-Chalmers breakers which exhibited:

z Excessive gap distance between the latch roll and the trip latch z Bending of the back plate. This is the mounting plate for the stop bolt.
